Gannon, 2 months

sweet baby Gannon.

you are two months old already!?! the time seems to move faster and faster by the day.

so much has changed in just one short month.

lets see... 

*you grew a TON. i swear around 6 weeks old you must have grown 2 lbs and 2 inches overnight. you changed from looking like a newborn to a chubby round baby!

i love your features - your sparkly eyes, chubby cheeks, round face & sweet dimple in your cheek.

*you are flailing those little legs and fits around like crazy, and you will grab anything you can hold on to when i'm holding you.

*you are smiling more and more each day, and as of 7-8 weeks old you started becoming very attentive...follow our gaze and stare for long periods of time, big smiles & lots of cooing. whenever I say "say mama", you give the biggest smile along with a coo, as if you are really trying to say mama :)

*you are still a very fussy baby for the most part. you like to be held all day long and like to pace around the house while being held. if we stop moving or try to put you down, you protest instantly.

*you still don't have much of a schedule at all. some days you will be up for almost 12 hours straight with a few 5-10 minutes naps, and other days you will sleep almost the whole day & just waking up to nurse. although, no matter what your schedule is like during the day, you are still a good sleeper at night. you are generally ready for bed for the night around 8 or so and will sleep until 3-4am, wake up to nurse, and go back to sleep til around 7am. you refuse to go back down in your bassinet after the 3am feeding, so you snuggle with us the rest of the morning until we get up.

*you still put up with your big brother grady being in your face all day long. he sure loves you. lots of kisses and baby talk from that boy ;) even drew has started paying more attention to you. he will just quietly walk by and give you a kiss or poke on the head and keep going - that's big for him :)

you had your 2 month well baby checkup today and are snoozing right now...i'm sure the shots will wear you out a bit! we found that you still have a soft murmur, which will hopefully not get worse over time. we are also going to try some medicine in case you have reflux - i'm not sure if that's the case, but it's worth a shot. you also have laryngealmalacia (basically a floppy airway that makes your breathing sound awful), but that should start improving in time as well. the awesome news is that you are groing like a champ and seem very healthy otherwise!

I thought it would be fun to do a little comparison of you and your brothers at this age :) I pulled some pictures of them at two months off our old computer. It will be fun to see who you resemble (or not) as you grow over time. I see a little of both of them in you at times. Overall I think you look more like Grady, but you're definitely your own little person as well :)

Love you little G <3
